“…The faculty published 2 peer‐reviewed books, [ 238,239 ] 9 peer‐reviewed book chapters, [ 240–248 ] and 115 peer‐reviewed research papers. [ 249–363 ] This comes to 1.6 peer‐reviewed products/faculty/year during the 3‐year grant period, which is 3.2 times the rate of publication for natural science faculty at PUIs. [ 46 ]…”

The molecular education and research consortium in undergraduate computational chemistry (MERCURY) consortium, established in 2000, has contributed greatly to the scientific development of faculty and undergraduates. The MERCURY faculty peer-reviewed publication rate from 2001 to 2019 of 1.7 papers/faculty/year is 3.4 times the rate of the physical science faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions. We have worked with over 1000 students on research projects since 2001, and 75% of our undergraduate research students have been under-represented in chemistry, either female or students of color. Approximately half of our alumni attend graduate school for the purpose of obtaining advanced degrees in STEM fields, and two-thirds are female and/or students of color. We have had more than 1600 attendees at 18 MERCURY conferences, including 111 invited speakers, 61 of whom have been female and/or faculty of color. In this paper, the research accomplishments, transformational outcomes, and scientific productivity of the MERCURY faculty are highlighted.

“…In recent years, the use of Arduino-based instrumentation has increased in instrumental laboratories: (i) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) thermocyclers (Mabbott, 2014), (ii) automated burets (Famularo et al, 2016), (iii) photometers (McClain, 2014), (iv) thermometers and PH-meters (Kubínov a and Sl egr, 2015). All these recent reports verify the potential of Arduino software and hardware.…”

Many experimental thermochemical laboratories require monitoring temperatures during a reaction or physical procedure. Nowadays, there are many alternatives to fulfill this requirement; however, they are expensive for basic scholars and first-year undergraduates. In this paper, we describe an inexpensive and useful data acquisition device developed with the open-source Arduino software. In this work, we presented a methodology for easy calorimeter construction based in Arduino data acquisition device for introductory chemical laboratories, we used an LM35 transistor as a temperature sensor connected to an Arduino UNO microcontroller for temperature sensing and an aquarium air pump for agitation of reaction system. Besides, the hardware required for implementation is explained in detail. The device was built using the (DIY) do-it -yourself method, and the complete system had a total cost under $40. We showed details of all components for data acquisition construction. Finally, we tested the device in order to determine the exothermic dissolution heat (ΔH) for NaOH in water.

“…38 A more recent example encourages students to build their own automated titrator in a bottom-up approach, where titrations are realized based on a high-level application programming interface (API) provided by the instructor. 39 While this example targets the chemistry and engineering aspects of constructing an automated titration, the software component is still lacking and relies on significant input and preparations of the instructors. A stronger focus on the development of flexible and robust control software in chemical contexts has recently been reported for the visualization of colored reactions on automated experimentation platforms.…”

<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>The digitalization of the economy is one of the drivers of the fourth industrial revolution. This trend is already heavily permeating biology laboratories and rapidly moving into chemistry as well. Notably, automated laboratories enhance process quality and intensification while freeing researchers from repetitive tasks. With these societal changes in place, students need to be prepared for the advanced digitization of chemistry and science by teaching fundamental chemistry concepts in combination with emerging Industry 4.0 technologies, including programming and automation. We describe an undergraduate classroom exercise at the interface of chemistry, computer science and engineering based on the development of an autonomous titration platform. Following an inquiry learning ansatz, the exercise focuses on standard titration experiments which are first executed manually, then automatically and finally in full autonomy by a student-designed robotic platform. We demonstrate that the exercise introduced in this work enables students to learn fundamental concepts in analytical chemistry, naturally integrates basic aspects of programming and automation, and as a consequence promotes and reinforces the detailed understanding of experimental processes and measurements. The exercise is designed in a collaborative active learning framework to encourage complex critical thinking and creative problem solving and thus prepares students for the next-generation chemistry laboratories. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
